but i want to eventually turbo my car. i just dont have anywhere to start.
could you guys help me out and tell me what to get and stuff like that. i just have no idea what im doing. it just seems like a whole lotta work with the setup and everything.
i kinda just want a simple turbo, to make it a little quicker..

any help?

 

do research on what your putting under your hood because you have no clue what your getting into. check the FI sections.

 

ya i do all thew time!
just even if i got enough money to buy a kit, i would have no idea how to put it on or tune it or anything.

 

you will first need to save up alot of money ha but serioulsy you need to save up money for not only a turbo kit, but if something were to go wrong.

 

yeah thats what scares me. lol
but tc's are soo slow.
i need to turbo. hopefully by the end of this summer i will have enough money.

im not really worried about buying one. its setting it up. i would have nowhere to go.

but i live in pensacola fl, so if anyone knows where to go, lemme know.

 

Well I'd start by buying a kit once you have the funding. If you're completely new to turbos, you want someone who knows what's going on to piece together anything. Dezod, PTuning, and a few others can definitely help you out there. I've built turbo setups for other cars before and I still went with a kit for the tC for simplicity.

As far as the install, it actually is pretty straight forward, however if you're not comfortable, you'll need to save up another $1000 or so for a pro to do it. I obviously don't know what's around Pensacola, however there are some great shops in and around Orlando that can both install and tune your car very well.

Good luck and there's plenty of people on here to answer any questions you might have.

 

thanks alot man. lol if i got the kit from dezod, would it come with instructions or something?
and dont i need to tune it or something or is it just bolt on and go?

 

buy a turbonetics kit its fully plug and play and comes with directions as long as ur tc is 05-06 and if you want to go mor ethan 7psi which i think it comes pretuned at you can go to CFT Central Florida Tuning in orlando

 

Dezod has instructions on their website under the Tech Notes section. You should go check them out to see what all is involved with installing a turbo kit.

You get a base-tune with Dezod, but you'll need to get it dyno tuned for power.

 

lol what if idrivetC is really a long time user but made a new sn so that he wouldnt lose face...yea i know, not much help or relevance to this thread but the idea came up in my head. haha a true noob wouldnt even know that he is a noob and even if that topic came up, he/she would deny it.

Any who wait for the Dezod Alpha kit.

 

Start buy reading this book...
http://www.amazon.com/Maximum-Boost-.../dp/0837601606

It might help you out and give you some to think about when going the turbo route.

 

honestly if u dont know ANYTHING about a turbo kit how to install how it works etc. u shouldnt even be thinking of one. chances are it will blow ur engine

 

haha no im really a noob and im not afraid to admit it.

butim an 07,

im gonna look at the dezod, but when you say i need to get it dynoed for power, what is the base-tune thingy?

 

^^haha so supportive...

iDrivetc, go and get a s1 kit from Dezod. Ask for Paul, as long as you have money...he will help you lol. The kit might run you 4 grand and above, installation and tuning will probably run you another 2 grand. 8PSI should be good on the safe side. Want to boost more? Your gonna need cams, sleeves, pistons, and etc. What matters the most is tuning and that cost the most. Make sure your wallet is fat before you even start this project.

 

that sounds good to me.
i just gotta find a place reasonably close to get it tuned and installed otherwise i will be fine! im gonna start saving now.
this forum really helps out alot, so thanks alot you guys..

and if anyone knows of a place to get it tuned at around pensacola, lemme know..

 

CFT is gonna be ur best bet its the closest shop i know thats good..there is another in ft lauderdale but thats farther away

 

ahh thats like an 8 hour drive!!
i guess it will be worth it, as long as gas doesnt go up lol

 

u would have to research on turbo and read as much as you can about them. Look into F/I section and read the stickies their...if u wanna know how to install a turbo kit here's is a link to a DIY:
